The moral inquiry into the nature of justice is often marginalized,
as contemporary discussions focus primarily on political
considerations. Yet, the need to examine the moral framework of
justice is fundamental. What is the point of justice, after all, if
not to establish a moral framework for political interactions? The
question resonates especially when recognizing that no monocultures
exist over time and space. In examining Plato's thoughts on
individual and social morality (dikaiosune) and Aristotle's focus
on individual virtue (arete) and the pursuit of well-being
(eudaimonia), the author proffers foundational resources for
today's discussions of justice. Moreover, he brings this nexus of
thought into conversation with theories that have emerged over the
centuries, such as Kant's concept of due concern and respect,
individual rights and responsibilities as in Hobbes, Locke and J.S.
Mill. Thus, he engages contemporary disputes of justice including
distributive vs. relational schemes, choice vs. chance
considerations, group rights theories, value pluralism, the right
vs. the good, as well as international and future justice. His
inquiry concludes with the provision of a deontological framework
set against a liberal political context, justice as right actions,
for further examination of questions of justice.
